ER - Edge rectangle relative 

ER X, Y[;] 

X ; X coordinate of opposite corner for the rectangle 
Y ; Y coordinate of opposite corner for the rectangle 

• 

Coordinates are relative to the current position in current units. 

• 

Plots the rectangle formed by the current position and the opposite corner specified by X and Y.  

• 

After plotting, the cursor returns to its point of origin. 

• 

Plotting is performed whether the pen is up or down.

EP - Edge polygon 

EP [;] 

• 

This command plots the outline of the polygon currently stored in the polygon buffer. 

• 

The command only plots between points defined when the pen was down. 

• 

The command plots an outline irrespective of whether the pen is currently up or down. 

• 

The command does not affect the data in the polygon buffer. 

• 

On completion of the plot the cursor returns to the original position.

• 

After plotting, the cursor returns to its point of origin. 

• 

Plotting is performed whether the pen is up or down. 

• 

You should use this command with the type "isotropic".  Anisotropic type may make the wedge stretch.
